NASA Reports Strange Moon Phenomena

Full Moon - Lovely Full Moon Picture, showing the face that we all see on planet Earth.

I was watching "Good Morning America" today, and one of their bits was on "Full Moon Phenomena"...but they only talked about the effects of gravity upon the human body. I was irked by the fact that the expert at Stonybrook University of NY had no interest or understanding of magnetics, which could explain some of the problems associated with a full moon. So I looked it up on Google, and low! I found a recent article published by NASA on the effects of the Earth's magnetic tail upon the moon, which enters it three days prior and three days after the full moon. You're going to boggle at this info -- it's downright scary and interesting. Check it out! http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/17apr_magnetotail.htm

It´s good to know that scientists still interested on the Moon, maybe some years from now we could take profit of those electromagnetic effects, maybe as a source of energy or something else

All of these things make me think about those theories that there was really no moon landing at all, and that all the hullaballoo was nothing more than creative cinematography. With all of this going on, and what with the van Allen belt and the solar winds, I am beginning to think that there might be something to those theories after all. How could they smell the moondust?

I'm wondering if those electromagnetics are not already affecting us. Some people go crazy during a full moon - is this why? The moon has many effects on us, the tides, moods. So this explains allot as to it's effects on us physically. Good article.
